- Preview of my next game about fighting giant death monsters! - 3 August 2021
Hey everyone! I wanted to post a super early alpha preview of the new game I'm working on. So far I've got a totally new movement system working and I'm working on conceptualizing the art style. I have a lot of ideas about what I want to do with this game, but basically, I'm thinking it will be like Jet Island except with parkour instead of the hoverboard and of course, it'll be terrifying. I'll have some small updates coming soon for Jet Island. I just needed to take a break from it because it was weighing down my mental health and I need to mix it up and work on my new game. By the way, this new game doesn't have a title yet, so ideas are very welcome!
- New Lighting! Wormy 10X Size Modifier! & tons more! - 25 June 2020
This is a HUGE update! Lots of new experimental features that have been in beta for a while now, along with some new features just recently added. SUPER WORMY: With this modifier, the flying boss in the sky is now 10X bigger! That makes him nearly larger that the world itself! Tremble as this massive creature engulfs the entire sky! I honestly can describe it. You really have to see the massive size of this boss in VR! (comment below if you can beat Super Wormy! I think it's possible, but he's so massive I think it would be pretty hard!) NEW LIGHTING: By combining traditional volumetric lighting with a new radical technique of baking thousands of low-poly light rays into the world, the lighting in Jet Island looks awesome! The underground boss fights feel brand new with the changes made to the lighting system. MULTIPLAYER HIGH-SPEED HIGH-FIVES: Players requested the ability to high-five…
- Index Support & Multiple Modifiers! - 28 June 2019
Get ready for a huge update! Jet Island now has full Valve Index Controller support with finger tracking! Now you can make more realistic hand gestures in multiplayer as well as a new way of grabbing your hoverboard and hookshots! Actually being able to grab and hold your hoverboard with your hand is so natural. And for all of you who love modifiers, I have added the most requested feature. MULTIPLE MODIFIERS!!! Yes, I had to rewrite some code to make it work, but it was worth it! It's a lot of fun to mix and match all the different modifiers. The combinations are almost endless. (Remember: Multiple Modifiers needs to be unlocked like the other modifiers. The modifier orb is hidden in a very special spot!) And since we can now combine modifiers, I added 14 new modifiers! The Ground is Lava Stretchy Hookshots Palm Jets Bouncy Ground Pitch Black Backwards Jets Death on Hard Impact Gun Rap…

Hidden throughout the world of Jet Island are purple glowing orbs. Each orb unlocks a new modifer! Select your modifier in the main menu before starting a game. Modifiers include new modes such as low-gravity, slow-mo hookshots, and many more! Extreme spin mode! One of my favorite new modifiers allows you to spin, flip, and go upsidedown on walls and loopty-loops! This special mode is only for those with VR legs of steel! Doing backflips at the end of a hookshot swing is a ton of fun! Infinite Jets mode! This modifier has been a requested features. Once this modifier is unlocked, you can more easily explore Jet Island without having to worry about fuel. Super Jets mode! Fly around Jet Island at super extreme speeds…

- Most Epic Game Ever! - 11 July 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28152221%2Fab8e9ad160441252e6d8fcb8facf0ce22fbee5ee.jpg This is the biggest beta update yet! After a long silence due to working hard on development, I'm proud to say the development of Jet Island's gameplay is nearly complete. Jet Island is now a full adventure, with a beginning and end. The game now has 4 complete boss fights, each more epic and more massive than the last. Especially the final one, the boss fights are like nothing you've ever experienced before. In addition to the new boss battles, players now can upgrade their stats. Drones are placed throughout the world, waiting in towers marked with a red beam. Defeat them to get crystals that update your stats. This allows the gameplay to be well balanced at the same time as giving the player the ability to max out their stats and really push the limits of the speed…
- Colossal Lizard Update! - 19 March 2018
Make your way deep underground, through a labyrinth of death traps. At the end of the obstacles and tight passageways, you will find the entrance to an absolutly gigantic areana! In the center of the giant areana is a massive tree. Climbing on it is the newest giant mini-boss of Jet Island! Everything about this new mini-boss is twice as epic as the giant hanging spider mini-boss. The battle is being taken vertical, up in the tree tops! The lizard mini-boss is nearly twice the size as the spider. And to fit a new monster this huge, the areana is twice the size too. With these mini-boss areana being so large, boost-pads have been added to greatly increase your speed and send you flying high in the air! Also to complete Jet Island as a video game, better tutorial instruction signs have been added to the tutorial area. This makes things a lot more clear and the hologram effect looks pretty…

- Giant Mini-boss Update! - 22 February 2018
Decend into a giant underground cavern. There you will find the new and epic mini-boss! He is a giant robot spider that hangs from the massive dome ceiling while he fires powerful lasers at anyone who crosses his path. Use the giant skatepark ramps to out manuver this epic creature. With the addition of mini-boss fights and underground caverns to explore, Jet Island is really starting to feel like an adventure game. Exploration, movement, and epic battles all come together to create a unique gameplay experience. I'm really looking forward to adding more giant mini-boss fights like this one. It's going to be epic! Also, there are new high-tech hookshot sights on the back of your hand in the game now. Aiming the hookshots has always been tricky. Now you can aim your hookshots with extreme accuracy, but in a way that still requires skill and doesn't break your immersion. Stay tuned for mor…

- Death Laser Update! - 17 December 2017
Now the boss has a giant death laser that he can fire at you from over a mile away! This makes him feel a lot more epic and evil. Also he now is smarter the way he moves around the world. His side to side snake-like motion is a lot more realistic now. Possibly in the final game the boss's death laser will be an attack he uses in the third/final battle at the end of the game. On the other hand, the laser is just so cool that I want to make sure all players get to experience it right away. Either way, it makes the boss feel EPIC!
